In Montenegro, a record low temperature was recorded on January 25 — in the village of Kosanica in the municipality ofPljevlja, the thermometer dropped to −33.2 °C. This was reported by the Montenegrin news agencyVijesti.
The previous historical temperature minimum in Montenegro was recorded in 1985 — it was −32 °C and was measured in Rožaje.
Low temperatures are being observed across the entire Balkan Peninsula. In Albania, for example, the frost has reached −18 °C, which has led to schools being closed for three months. Authorities say the schools are not experiencing heating problems, but the safety of schoolchildren on the way to school is a concern.
